The Latest announcements block displays recent announcement posts as a list of items. It also contains a link to older announcements. By default, the Latest announcements block displays one announcement item if you add this block to your course. You can change the number of announcements that display.

Instructors must add announcements to the Announcements forum, and these announcements are then linked to the Latest announcements block. (See the Announcement file for adding an announcement to your course.)
